    Default Adding an amplifier on 2012 Spyder RT-S

    I'm mounting a sub and amp in he righthand saddlebag. I have my bike taken apart and will be running the amp off of high level inputs. Does anyone know the colors of the speaker wires coming out of the factory radio to tap into that go to the speakers both front and back?

    Default Don't know. ..!!

    But would suggest you get a shop manual online for like 20 bucks and then you will have the whole wiring diagram. On these machines once you get the power and ground wires straight it gets wild. Purple and black will not be the same as black and purple then there is power before ignition and power after ignition...etc..

    I found a site to download a shop manual. Thanks for the suggestion. Not sure why I didn't think of that.

    FYI... for anyone else that is wiring up an amp via high level inputs the speaker wire coloring on the 2012 RT-S is the following:

    Front Left - Pink/Black
    Front Left - Pink

    Front Right - Brown/Light Green
    Front Right - Light Green

    Rear Right - Violet/Black
    Rear Right - Violet

    Rear Left - Green/Black
    Rear Left - Green

    The shop manual doesn't differentiate between positive and negative but I would assume the first of each is positive. I'll post more details once I get into it.
